Its important for me right now to find real people I can talk to who've had Lap Band or gastric bypass. I need to hear the real deal from real people. Because looking online and finding forums and what doctors say, it seems subjective; everyone contradicting each other.
Some of the lap band bloggers are in south florida. Gosh it would be so amazing to find someone down here I could talk to. A friend. Someone to talk me through it. Someone to lean on. I'm having a really hard time finding this.

Hey there Melissa. I put a shout out to all the lap banders that follow me hoping they'd come over to your blog and give you some advice. They are GREAT!
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa...Draz sent me! I live in Ormond Beach, FL which is on the east coast near Daytona. I had my surgery on 3/24/10. If I can help you with any questions, please let me know. Getting the band was the best decision I've ever made!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you honey.
Another bandster here courtesy of Drazil! I'm not from Florida, but I'd be glad to talk with you about the band.
ReplyDeleteWhere in South Florida are you? I'm in southeast Florida, in Palm Beach county. I would love to meet a real life lap band friend too!
ReplyDeleteHey M.
ReplyDeleteDrazil Baby sent me over to pop and pay you a vist.. I am from Bucks Co. PA (ya know where George Washington crossed the River).. anyway.. I am sure you will get a ton of followers, cause when Ms.Draz says we got to meet you.. we follow her great advice.
Hey Melissa, I'm coming over from Draz, too.
ReplyDeleteI had my band place on March 11th.
I also had lots of fertility work to have my daughter about 4 years ago. Our fertility problems were with my hubby (his name is Ed!), not with me.
Anyway, ask any questions you want, I'm not shy!

ReplyDeleteFor those of you in South Florida I'm in Miami. I don't think any of you are this far south. But I'd still love to talk with any of you. I'm open to any and all info you can give me. thank you!
